I just had my Lap Band surgery on 4/18/12 and i wont go for my first Fill until the 17th of this month (May). the first week flew by and i was on liquids only and also was allowed sugar free Jello and popsicles.I went for my 1st week follow-up and the Dr.said i lost 13 pounds and i didnt even really do much...then he tells me to go ahead and star with soft foods, like cottage cheese and Greek yogurt which tastes gross.I still have another about 12 days before i get my 1st Fill. My question is am i suppose to feel the "Feeling Full" sensation, because i dont and i feel that im eating too much and im scared that i might be streching my stomach....is this normal?
